Golpe de Mestre de US$ 17 bilhões matando o IMEC da Índia

In 2023, India and its allies announced the IMEC project, a commercial corridor designed to rival China’s Belt and Road Initiative. A year later, the corridor is on the brink of collapse, threatened by a $17 billion Iraqi mega‑project that could dismantle India’s vision. The Iraqi initiative, funded by Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey, is advancing rapidly while IMEC struggles, raising questions about India’s strategic ambitions. With political instability in West Asia, escalating conflicts and the ambitious Iraqi dry‑canal project, the foundations of IMEC are shaken. Many now wonder whether India’s dream corridor is merely an illusion, as Iraq quietly builds a direct link between Asia and Europe, bypassing traditional routes. Is IMEC dead? Or is India planning a counter‑attack to regain its global commercial advantage?
